FIGURE 36 THE MEASURABLE INDICATORS FOR THE TOD COMPONENT OF DENSITY ISOMETRY CREATED BY THE AUTHOR
As mentioned in the previous section of chapter 6, cities and the urban condition are quite complex and interconnected, influencing development. Therefore, the indicators have been broken down and each is analyzed through a specific, context appropriate measure. Starting with Density our first indicator has been broken down into five individual components as shown below:

These five components were measured individually to create a separate environment for each of the indicators as a final product we were able to measure automatically by using the model we generated, the vertical and horizontal unconventional density of our three study areas. Our second component is the measurement of Proximity to transit. By measuring this component, we provide a full and complete understanding on how the area is serviced by public transport, bicycle infrastructure and walkable distances, coming together with the total infrastructure network and the distance from each building to the nearest station as illustrated by the two components of this indicator:
